Adapted from “Conversaciones con mama”, by Santiago Carlos Oves.

Middle-class Fabien, 40, is out of a job. Pressured by his wife, he tries to persuade his mother to leave the appartment he owns. But his mother is not at all ready to give up the place she's been living in for years. Strong-charactered and with a mordant wit, she is even keener to hang onto the flat since she has just met a man and is ready to settle down with him. Fabien is astonished to discover that his long-neglected mother is still capable of romance, let alone a sex life! He'll soon have to come to terms with how dull his own existence is in comparison to her happy life.
